(NAPSI)—Here’s food for thought: Experts say mealtime may be
the best time for families to relax, reconnect and enjoy each other’s
company after a busy day. In fact, research suggests that having dinner
together as a family at least four times a week has positive effects on child
development. According to a report by the University of Florida,
children who eat dinner with their family are more likely to understand, acknowledge
and follow the boundaries and expectations set by their parents. A decrease
in high-risk behaviors is related to the amount of time spent with family—especially
during family dinners.

One reason may be because eating dinner together as a family provides an
opportunity for conversation without distractions from screens. As you engage
your children in conversation, you can teach them how to listen and provide
them with a chance to express their own opinions. In addition, conversations
at the dinner table can expand a child’s vocabulary and, thus, reading
ability.

So when you want to dine with your family but there’s practically no
time to cook and you’re tired of takeout, consider this simple,
delicious meal you can make in just minutes. These savory spicy noodles get
their flavor from a surprising source: tart-sweet lingonberries.

Because this is made with lingonberries, it can be good for your family in
many ways. The popular fruit from Sweden is loaded with
antioxidants and has even been featured as a superfruit on “The Dr. Oz
Show.”
